South Hills Kiwanis did not have a team for the Jeopardy Contest that was held at the Taste of Texas, so one was appointed to represent our club, but I am not sure who the substitutes were, but they must have been pretty good, because they placed third out of 12 teams.

President Anita says she is reviewing the treasurer's report, and should have it up to date by the next meeting.

ROBERT POSSNER, the director of the Covina Library, was the speaker introduced by COOKIE FORD. Mr. POSSNER said they have received a $7000.00 grant from the State, and he showed a DVD film about "Good Covina/ Bad Covina". There were also pictures of Gay's Lion Farm that was in El Monte. The lions were used in many movies and in a circus. There was also a short story of Erma Layman, who had a store in downtown Covina. She was a part-time secretary on a full time basis for many years for the city. The DVDs are entitled "California of the Past". You are welcome to contact Mr. Possner if you have any stories about Covina's history.
